Lai Pmm FEB'81870 REEL OVENS- @BAKERS' ALEXANDER CHUMBIE V Im uh r' responding to. the dog, is secured to the side of the index wheel, by screws t, passing through adjusting slots t t, fig. 2, in the adjustable plates.

Theindex-wheel should besecurcdto the reel-shaft, and the notchedplatcs adjusted in such manner that each brcad-holder will be stopped ht a. point a. little above the level of the mouth-plate whenever the dog drops into the corresponding notch.

The operation of the above-described mechanism forrnoring and stopping the bread-holders is: l That when the ovensman desiresto remove a. breadholderfrom the oven mouth, and to bring the nextin place, he presses with his foot upon the treadle m, which, being connected with the clutch-shipper and -the dog, lilts the dog from the notch in the indexwheel, and engages the clutch with the'olutch-pulley, setting the worm and worm-wheel in motion to oper ate the real. The pressure being removed'froln the treadle, the weight disengags the clutch from the clutch-pulley when the brcad-holder-arrives at the proper position at the oven mouth, Stile dog having dropped into the corresponding note: in the indexwheel,) and the bread-holder is stopped and held in such position until the mechanism is again set in opiemtion. A I do not wish to limit my invention to the precise construction of thef'above-described mechanism, be-

cause it-is obvious'that a pin-wheel, working with a notched lever,- conld be usedinplnce of the indexwheel to a good purpose; and hits also evident that the treadle may bedispensed with, and the clutchshipper operated by' various well-known mechanical,

connections, from the .fi'ont of the oven. Moreover, I do not wish to confine myself to placing the indexwheel upon the reel-shafligbecause it may be placed upon any shaft connected with the reel, by positive gear, with good result. Neither do I- wish to limit my invention to the employment of an index-wheel with adjust-able notches,'hecnnse one that is regularly a pinion and spur-wheel, the dog must be strong enough to hold the reel.

I claim, as my invention and improvement in bakers reel-ovens The combination ofnn automatic stop-mechanism, substantially as herein described, with the reel and bread-hold rs of ahnkeis reel-oven, and the incominism for moving the sa-me,the combination being sol) stnntially as herein described, whereby the breadholders are moved forward and stopped, and held at the proper place at the oven mouth for discharging and recharging. I

Also, in the abovwspecified combination, making the index-wheel, which-constitutes a. port of the'stopmotion, with adjustnblestops, adjusted to give the required position of the bread-holdersot the mouth of the oven.
